Sorry to hear about your crash
From the pictures the damages seems limited to the front of the cowling - I would buy a new lower cowling.
How do the wings look?
I'm running the V3 with factory settings in the ECU - my power turbine was actually set to 160.000 RPM coming from the JC , but that was dialed up to max. after JC's approval. JC never explained why it was set at 160.000 RPM.
Did you check the last off condition in the ECU? That would give you an idea to why the engine died.

Hi Martin,
Actually there was damage on the wings and fuse, the tail almost separated, unfortunately. The ECu cause for flame out was overspeed, does not make sense as it was on a low speed, about 1/4 throtle, when it was accelerated it quit. the smoke was on at the time. the only apparent damaged on the engine was the part between the engine and gear were the exhaust is placed, that part came loose rotating freely. Small fire resulted from the smoke oil leaking on top of the engine but it was readily put out.
best,
Leo
